The not-really-official "How is your country doing in WC Qualifying?" thread

Costa Rica breezed through the initial group stage, perfect so far with 15 points in 5 games. 1 game left, at El Salvador, but it's completely meaningless since both teams are through to the next phase.

it was a very easy group though, should be a lot tougher in CONCACAF's Final Six.

We beat Armenia away, Bosnia at home then drew with Belgium at home and Estonia away.

We did have a ton of injuries and were very unlucky but still the draw away at Estonia is inexcusable. But we do this kind of crap all the time we were the team San Marino scored its first international goal against and if I remember right got its first draw against, in the qualifying round for the last Euros we drew with Malta... We just can't beat the teams other people score 7-8 against I have no idea why...

the toss-up is Honduras and Jamaica, which should be pretty interesting. Jamaica closes at home vs. a weak Canadian team, while Honduras hosts Mexico, who is coming off two bad results (loss to Jamaica, draw vs. Canada).

i'm thinking Mexico takes out their frustration on Honduras, paving the way for Jamaica to steal the last spot in qualifying.

This is going to be fun. This is when all the games are going to be hard fought close matches. I think US, Mexico, and Costa Rica will be the 3, with El Salvador being the 4th to play the conmebol 5th seed.
